I like your version, but Keldor is human, so forearm must be bare or use the gaunlet ones (Hordak and Zodak).

That's not quite accurate. He's half human. He's half Gar. Blue skin. Sharp Vulcan/Elf ears. Gar appear to have arm fins or something like them (check out Vormus in the series), so it's not necessary to leave out the arm fins on Keldor.

Also, I think they will follow the same formula for Keldor that was used in 200X--that is Skeletor wears the same armor as Keldor but with bones worked into the design (a difference too minor to matter for the toy) and with exposed feet (to add to his monstrous appearance). If MOTUC Keldor is wearing different shin-guards than those worn by Skeletor, they've departed from the formula. They might do that, but they don't have to.

I think this is funny as MGM and I were discussing the way they could bring him in using existing parts. I like the idea of using the Stratos feet with the standard Skeletor buck. I just hope the cape is not connected to the armor itself as I would like to see Skeletor use it as well, because I have a feeling the armor will be another color i.e. silver crossbones or other highlights.

I want a cape for Skeletor, but all capes seem to be part of the armor. I would love to have as a seperate piece to use with Ol' Skullface. If they give us 3 heads I think MGM will borrow one of Tallstar's passing out clips.

Trap Jaw style boots (painted purple) would also work well for Keldor. Combine them with a Faker style body, and with Skeletor's armor and you have a winner.

Good call! I never even considered different boots; those lower Trap Jaw legs would look perfect! Really would make him stand out a little more as Keldor and not a total repaint of Skeletor (not that I mind that, either).

That stuff would be good for me, but I would love to see some innovation go into it with the use of Trappy's lower legs for the boots. Heck, I'd also like to see the harness redone to mimick the 200X look, rather than just repaint the existing one, but if we're already hoping for extra heads 'n such then this guy will start to get costly with more new stuff.

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.

I might be in the minority, but I'm not jazzed about the use of Trap-Jaw's boots for Keldor ... I'd almost rather see the He-Ro/Zodak boots used - even those feet would be fine.

Ultimately, though, I think the regular Skeletor shin-guards with either Stratos or He-Ro feet would be fine, but I'd like to not see the regular Skeletor feet. I can almost see them using the regular "furry" boots for Keldor, since most of the "human" characters have them.

For me, he needs:

1. Keldor head
2. dual 200x-style swords
3. different feet (Stratos' would be easy and would look fine)
4. the vial we saw in the teaser pics from the art show, since it seems pretty clear we'd be getting it

I'd like to see:

1. different forearms - they could use the regular Skeletor ones, but I'd rather see them use Tri-Klops'/Randor's
2. "melting" head - but it's not necessary for me, I'd always display the Keldor head

I think they'll reuse the regular Skeletor armor and loincloth, and I'm cool with that personally. I'd rather not see a cape unless it's removable.

The reason I prefer Trap-Jaw's boots over He-Ro's is because in the MYP cartoon (and the 200x figure), we see that his boots/shinguards have spikes on them. Trap-Jaw's boots have spikes on the front, which (in my opinion) makes them a better fit for the character.

I'm also in the camp that likes the idea for re-using Trap-Jaw's boots on Keldor. However, I think we'll end up getting Skeletor's shins with Stratos' feet... which is cool by me as well! I'm just happy to see signs of getting him this year!

I'm hoping for a Disco Skeletor for the next subscription exclusive! Fully flocked!

Either way works for me. I would like to see Matty put more of an effort in making Keldor and Skeletor unique from each other. I would like to see Keldor more human looking than Skeletor with the long fingernails and bare feet. I would even be ok with Zodak's and Hordak's gloves. Trapjaw's boots would work nice and I would lean toward those, but I think they will go with his original boots and Strato's feet.

Keldor was my absolute favorite figure in the 200x toy line. So, the idea of getting Keldor in Classics is really exciting to me. I love the burning head, so I hope we get that again for sure.

Like others have said, this is a great chance to give us both Keldor and 200x Skeletor in the same figure, so I really hope Mattel takes the opportunity. Part of me is thinking they won't, though, and we'll just get a Classics Skeletor body with a few new heads/accessories and a cape.

And to be honest, I won't be entirely dissapointed if that is what happens, as he'll still look good I think. But if they take advantage of giving us everything we need to display Keldor or 200x Skeletor, then this might be up for one of the best figures in the line, IMO!

There haven't been many 200x in MOTUC, but I wouldn't call Zodak cheap. Re-used parts...just like 80% of MOTUC, and we DID get glow in the dark tattoos.

I would. Mattel cuts serious corners bringing 200X figures to fans. Which isn't a complain, but an observation. Mattel can't afford to go as detail rich toward any 200X details like they do with stuff from the original line.

Zodak has no unhelmeted head. The only thing new on him was the staff.

Keldor might even have Skeletor feet. I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

As a 200x lover, I am pretty happy with how Mattel has worked some of the designs into MOTUC.

I'm glad too. Just wish it were on the level of the vintage characters.

It is from a Marvel Legends "Ghost Rider" figure. It had flames coming off the top and back of it but I was able to sand them down and shape it with a Dremel. Then I used a clear plastic stand from a Star Wars Sith Probe Droid figure as the neck peg.

Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
